How Do I Go From San Francisco and Sacramento to Redding In California By Train? -

Hello! I am new at California and I am trying to take a trip to a town in Northern California called Redding.I have two airport (San Francisco and Sacramento) that I could fly to but I am more interested in one of the airport that is near a public transportation transit that could take me to Redding.What is the name of the train transportation and route to take to Redding from the best airport?

While Jaker gave you what seems like a good alternative, there are a couple of things you may not realize.The Sacramento Airport is located at least 15 miles north of downtown Sacramento. Amtrak is located in Downtown, there are not many good public transportation options between the two. A cab ride is about $30.00-$40.00 ($4.00 flag drop then $4.00 a mile).If I may, a better option would be to take BART from San Francisco to the Richmond Station. Once in Richmond you can transfer to Amtrak to Sacramento. Bart and Amtrak share a station in Richmond.Once in Sacramento you can transfer to an Amtrak train to Redding.If you are flying into San Francisco you can catch BART right at the Airport.Or there are flights between San Francisco and Redding, in puddle jumpers, but the time and cost may make it worth it. Never mind the flying option, I just checked, from San Francisco you are looking at right around $500.00 round trip. From Sacramento you are looking at close to $700.00 round trip, and you have to fly from Sacramento, to San Francisco to catch a flight to Redding. No wonder the airlines are all bankrupt. I just checked on flight between San Francisco and Sacramento the cost there is real close to $300.00 round trip. United is the only airline that provides this service. The BART Amtrack option is less than $60.00 round trip.The Amtrak trip is quite comfortable, actually more so the flying and a lot less hassle.Enjoy your trip.

Sacramento is the closest airport. There is an Amtrak train from there to Redding.

Best Ways to Spend a Saturday in New York City with my Girlfriend? -

My girlfiend and are going to NYC for the day on saturday. We are going to take public trans from Philadelphia in the morning. I am 23 and my gf is 22 (been together for almost 2.5 years). I have never been to NYC but my girlfriend has a number of times. I would like a mix of touristy stuff and just all around nice things to do in NYC. -cool places go/see-nice lunch spots (not too expensive) How would you recommend we spend the day in NYC?The more ideas, suggestions and details the better

Congrats to you both!I am going to NYC this weekend as well. Taking public transportation is brutal, especially if you plan on taking Septa Regional Rail to Trenton, NJ to take their train into NYC Penn Station. I found a better way of getting to NYC with an hour to hour and a half drive and it costs me about 20 bucks round trip. I take Boltbus www.boltbus.com which is located right across the street from 30th street station, behind the old post office. It has free wi-fi and a bathroom. And its quiet and a nice ride to spend with someone. The seats are roomy, leather and have seat belts as well. I am going to see a broadway show which I got tickets off of broadwaybox.com - and I got the 6th row from the stage for 70 bucks. The seats originally cost $200! You get really good deals on that website and they have practically every show on there! I personally love Central Park- they have the biggest skating rink and its really nice and romantic! There s also ice skating at Rockefeller which is smaller but they have it all decked out in holiday decorations - with the biggest tree you will ever see. But what is even better is you can go up on the rockefeller building and see out into the city and eat. And you can go any time of the day or night! You cant go wrong with Times Square and 5th Ave shopping- but Bryant Park is a nice place to go and escape. Have a nice lunch and get away from the craziness of people.There is a lot to do but I do advise that you do not eat at the Hard Rock and Planet Hollywood-their way over priced and the food is terrible-and that goes for pretty much every restaurant in Times Square. There s lots of cool pizza shops and food places and restaurants along 5th and 6th Ave and they arent that expensive! Dylans candy bar on Park ave is really cool. You will have so much fun in there-theres candy everywhere and they have the best goodies you will ever find!Have a good time!!

How is it like to live and work in sacramento, CA ? -

assuming you have a job offer to work there

Fantastic place to raise a family. Very good place if you are a couple w/o kids and are active and enjoy the outdoors. Not too good of a place if you are young and single, its a little slow for that.2 hours from Tahoe, Reno, San Francisco and the coast. 4 hours from Yosemite and Monterey Bay. Plenty of jobs but only if you are well networked, not like SF bay area or So Cal.

It s a lot better than a lot of other places I know of (and I suspect a lot of places of similar size that I know little or nothing of). The steadiest jobs are government at all levels (city, county, state, fed). There s a decent mix of high tech and light manufacturing and retail, too. Some of the nicer areas and surrounding burbs commutes include: McKinley Park, East Sac/River Park, Land Park, So. Land Park, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Roseville, Folsom, Davis. There s decent bus rail transit if you wanna get out of your car. Great biking and hiking along the beautiful American River Parkway and river recreation on the American Sac rivers. Mild climate most of the year. I suppose it may not be the most exciting place, esp if you re young, single seeking diversity, variety, bohemian culture and the like. But it s an easy commute by car or Amtrak to SF the rest of the Bay Area and other attractions like Tahoe, the wine country and the redwoods.

Fine. Rather boring, though.

The best job in Sac is probably an engineer or Doctor (EMT etc)

Is FORKS,WA a good place for doctors to live in ? -

i am a junior in high school and i am deciding to be a cardiologist and i would like to live in FORKS,WA. Is it a good place for doctors to live in?

Great plan. You would probably earn more in a big city, but a doctor is very valuable in a small town. Your services will always be in demand.

There are only 3,000 people in Forks. There is only a community hospital, with no cardiologists on staff right now. If you really really want to live in Forks, then don t become a cardiologist. The demand for doctors in this area is for general practice, family physicians. If you really really want to be a cardiologist, then you need to be looking at a larger town. Port Angeles has a hospital that treats cardiac patients - it s probably the closest to Forks.

No, not outside books about vampyres written by people who ve never been to Forks before. It s too small to be lucrative.EDIT: whoever thumbs-downed me has never been to Forks and needs to read something other than Twilight.

Yes, they get paid very well in Forks. It is a small town but very needy of doctors. If you wanna become one, then that is the place to live!
